DEATH OF BENJAMIN BARToN.--Our
readers will regret TO learn that the venera-
BE Benjamin Barton died at his residence
in Fairfax county, near this city, this morn
ing 1t is not too high euloey to say that
Alexandria never had o better citizen.
Modest and retiring by nature, he stunned
rather than sought public notice; yet con-
sciOus that his duty demanded service 10
bis fellow men, he was ever ready to use
bis talents and his means for their benefit
We may well say of him what was said OF
Epaminondas, that we have seldom seen q
man who knew more and said less" He
was not talker, but worker. Born in
humble circumstances, on Fairfax street,
near Queen, in 1903, he received but linn
tied education, but he so improved it in his
few leisure hours that he became fine
mathematician, and man of excellent gen.
era information. Apprenticed early to the
trade of matchmaker and jeweler,
he was so assiduous at his work that
before he was of age, he had made
the fine. tall clock, both works and
case, which now stands in his store,
on King street, monument of his industry
and skill Through life be wa The same
quiet, patient, hardworking, judicious man,
assisting others by his COUNSEL and his
means, but never letting his left hand know
what his right did in charity. AS an Alder
man and as director in our banks, insur
ance companies, ETC., he was Invaluable for
bis judgment and moderation, and the great
honor of bis long life is his having, by hisbus-
mess tact, perseverance, and spotless integ-
rity, paid the depositors in the Alexandria
Savings Institution, Of which he was pres-
dent, dollar for dollar, though the war had
swept away the property of its debtors and
destroyed much of the value of its securities.
IN short, Mr.. Barton was in every way n
model to our young men, and his rise from
comparative poverty by bard work and at
lention to business, to position Of aillu-
ence should encourage those who wish to
rise also, to follow his example The Hy-
dTaulion Steam Fire Engine Company,
which he joined upon its organization, sixty
years ago, and of which be has been presi.
Geat ioriy-two years, will meet to night to
10 10 honor to his memory, rs will, no doubt,
'ne other companies of the department
anu the various boards of which he was a
member.

Mr.. Snowden said that the matter had

Stamping Convention had come down here
and had seen several members Of the COM
mttee about the taxes All the accounts
Ind been made out and forwarded to Capt.
GOss who would submit them to Mr..
Moody. A letter from Capt Goas was re
ceiyed to day in which he said that Mr..
Moody was well enough now to be about,
and would soon visit Alexandria and was
anxious to have the matter settled.
A bill changing the law as to the fire de-
partment came in from the Aldermen and
was referred The bill is designed to con-
form an old law made for hand engines and
volunteers to the changes made by steamers
and a paid department..
The clerk suggested that the amended
sections should be reported in full as
changed, and the new law adopted in that
way, when the bill was reported back. No
action however, beyond q reference was
taken, and the board adjourned.
